New historical romances this week


Here are some of this week's new historical romances (info provided by publishers):

At the Highlander's Mercy by Terri Brisbin (Harlequin Historical). To regain control of his fractured clan, Robert Matheson must take Lilidh MacLerie hostage as a bargaining tool. But Lilidh is no ordinary captive. She's the woman he once loved — and rejected!

With This Kiss: Part Two by Eloisa James (Avon Impulse e-book). Lady Grace Ryburn has accepted another man's proposal after the love of her life, Lieutenant Colin Barry, asked for her own sister's hand in marriage. But when Colin returns home from the wars, injured in body and spirit, will she be able to turn her back and marry another? Or will she throw away every rule her mother taught her, and try to seduce a man who has shown no interest in her kisses? (Check out Eloisa's guest post with HEA from yesterday).

One Moment's Pleasure by Rue Allyn (Crimson Romance). One moment's pleasure will become a lifetime's passion when Boston spinster Alexis Alden embarks on a search for her missing sister. Pretending to be a rich bored woman looking for an interlude with an anonymous male, Alexis enters the San Francisco bordello where her sister was last seen. She escapes the bordello almost too easily, but she can't escape the passion ignited by a stranger's kiss.

Sense and Sensibility: The Wild and Wanton Edition by Lauren Lane and Jane Austen (Crimson Romance).

After the death of their father and the transfer of the family home to their half-brother John and his horrid wife, Fanny, Marianne and Elinor Dashwood, along with their mother and younger sister, must find someplace new to live. While they search for a new home, Fanny's brother Edward comes to visit and forms an intense connection with Elinor — a connection that is severed when the Dashwood women move away.
